The Top 10 Baby Names In Pennsylvania For 2014 May Surprise You

Spring is here! It is the much beloved season of budding trees and baby birds. Pollen and the sweet smell of new life is in the air. Along with Mother Nature’s annual rebirth, we also celebrate new life by bestowing our young with names that we feel will provide them with a lifetime of strength and recognition.

The tradition of naming dates back as far as history remembers. Though many families try to give their children unique names, tradition and naming fads give us names that rise and fall in popularity, reflecting the common tastes and sensibilities of the time.
